Happy Anniversary to us!

That's me and my hubby I'm talking about. It's 36 years today! Wow, that's a lifetime of living together with my best buddy. We went out Saturday together to celebrate. For 13 years we worked at the street fair in town selling whatever I was making at the time. Many of those 13 years we worked on our anniversary. So this year we decided to walk the fair and have some gyros just like we used to do. It was a fun evening, there was a nice breeze, and the food was good. I didn't even spend too much money either. I did find a baby's 1st Christmas ornament and got it personalized for Carson. Now I've got to hide it away til Christmas. And then the hard part is remembering I bought it and where I hid it come December! lol Anybody else out there buy things for Christmas or birthdays way in advance and then forget you bought it and buy something else??? One Christmas was so bad my son asked me why I forgot to give him a gift he had already found!

Anyway, back to the anniversary business... I wanted to make my hubby a card and wasn't getting inspired. I checked in on the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge and saw a great little layout. The card came together easily after that little nudge. Hope he likes it. The card isn't the normal mushy anniversary type I usually do, but it gets the idea across anyway.


Stamps: Sense of Time, Extreme Elements
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, and Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, and More Mustard
Accessories: Scallop Square Punch, Big Shot with Clearlits Scallop Rectangle die, Metallic Brads, Sponge Dauber, and Dimensionals

It was a little tricky figuring out how to use the words for the design element in the challenge sketch, but after playing around with a few different options, this is what I came up with. I think it worked out pretty well.

Well, I'm off to spend a bit more time with my hubby tonight. Hope you all have a great evening.
